org-preview-latex-fragment on Retina display?

Recently, I upgraded to a macbook pro with retina display, and now all my latex previews in org-mode are... fuzzy. These are generated with org-preview-latex-fragment command, using dvipng.

Is there a setting I can change to up-res these? Maybe something in org.el?

Thanks,

-Adam

What happens if you produce a PDF document from LaTeX? Is it fuzzy?
What happens if you use ImageMagick instead of dvipng?

Maybe have a look at

The :scale option may be what you want.  I have used this in the past
with a value of 3 for creating org based slides for presentations with
LaTeX fragments.
